Free Clean Water

For the rest of May, Scouting magazine is running a contest to give away free water filration items. Camelbak, SteriPen, and Platypus have all provided drinking water items for the give-away and you won't win if you don't enter.

Enter today, and every day in May, to boost your odds - go to this Scouting Magazine link.

These items would be great for troop or crew backpacking trips. Our troop has used gravity filters like the Platypus for 3 years now and they make life much easier at camp. I used a similar filter the entire time on my 6-week Arizona hike and loved to see tan water come out clear.

Get all the adults in your troop to enter and maybe one of you will win some gear for your unit's summer trips! The package is worth about $300.
